Pinehurst in Feb?

[ktrainor73]

Looking at taking advantage of the low-season rates. Average temps seem to suggest a range between 5-10 degrees C. Anybody been down in Feb and can comment? Thx

I've been in late March and early April. Chilly mornings. Odd frost delay.

Dicey. Would suggest going more south that time of year..

Even northern Florida can be quite chilly.

I spent March in Hilton Head for 7 straight years before covid.....The drive through the Pinehurst area on the way in late Feb, saw everything from shorts one year, to snow shovels. Dicey is an excellent March description. There's a reason they are off season rates....Then again, you might get fortunate.

The rough will be dormant, the golf will be sub-par. I would save the money for a good course in prime condition. You need to head to Alabama, Florida or the Texas gulf coast that time of year.

I have been to the Pinehurst area 5-6 times in January/February. Ive seen snow once, but also had a few days above 20 degree. I think if you get mid teens then you have good weather. If you have flexibility for last minute travel just watch the forecast and shift you dates based off the weather. Mid Pines/Pine Needles has a really good deal from late November to mid February where unlimited golf plus accommodations for $150ish/night with a 2 night minimum.

thanks for all the input folks. agreed there's a reason the low season is priced as such. rolling the dice for a reasonable forecast!

I would echo the sentiments of everyone else. Pinehurst is a pretty amazing experience and I've been fortunate to experience and play a lot of properties in North America. I'd wait until the weather turns to get the best out of your trip.

Are you flying or driving south? Streamsong is an option where the weather would be better that time of year and the rates are generally lower in February. Three courses plus the putting course and everything is all on-site.

hey thanks for additional input. we're driving. would love to check out Streamsong on a subsequent trip. pushing hard to knock off pinehurst on the cheap in Feb so we can still lineup up Bethpage Black in summer 2023. (we're hunting major venues!)

As Big Red mentioned MidPines usually has great deals and is a perfect setup for groups. Cabins have shared putting greens and The Donald Ross cabin has its own driving range.

Driving down with my better half end of March to Myrtle Beach but staying around Pinehurst. Planning on driving about 10 hours, stay the night likely in Princeton, WV and then to Pinehurst area.

Any recommendations for a course with reasonable green fees? Will pay around US$100 per golfer.
Tobacco Road was US$230 per player so that's out.

Thanks in advance

How times change, I remember the first time we played TB, about 10 years ago, paid around $60 in April.

Drove up unloaded bags offered the person a tip, he said no I am the owner and don't take tips.

Love the course, but too rich for me now, want to take my 2 grandsons, sure hope it can happen, will have to look for different time of the year.

We looked at going there a couple of weeks ago but didn't make it. Don't remember what the rates were but they were significantly lower. Late March/early April are gonna be peak times/prices.

Mid Pines has gotten pricey.

BTW: we loved Pinehurst, played 2, 4 & 8. Weather was amazing - about 14 degrees each day. Driving was pretty easy - about 13hrs each way - drove straight through the night so virtually no traffic. Already booked our weekend for next Feb! (2,4 & 7).
